For Lent or Summer, you can prepare seafood recipes that are economical and yielding, like these Drowned Fish Tacos in a habanero sauce (suitable for spice lovers).

In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil, sauté the onion with the garlic, add the tomato, tilapia, serrano pepper, epazote, and cook for 5 minutes. Let cool and set aside. On a board, fill the corn tortillas with the previous preparation. Close and secure the edges with toothpicks. In a pot over medium heat, heat enough oil, fry the tacos until golden. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside. In a small pot over medium heat, heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the tomatoes, habanero pepper, onion, and garlic until softened. Fill with fish broth and cook until reduced by half. Blend the previous preparation until you achieve a homogeneous sauce. Return the sauce to cooking with a little more oil and season with salt and pepper, cook for 5 minutes or until it thickens. On a plate, place the quesadillas, pour the habanero sauce, and decorate with avocado and red onion.
